I'm thinking aloud with the following - please correct me if I'm
wrong!

I was under the impression that in order to produce certificates of
conformance then (a) you need to be an NICEIC member and (b) your test
equipment has to be regularly calibrated.

(a) is straightforward enough. However would this meter be a good
candidate to satisfy (b)?

I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just wondering.....

You need to be competent, which _may_ become defined as working for a
NICEIC firm.

Any test kit can be "calibrated", just send it off to one of the many
calibration houses every year, it'll come back with a calibration
certificate, job done. At work we use Universal Instrument Services, who
come on site several times a year and cal any kit that's due.

If you're in the NIC you can now do 'self calibrations'.

It comes with an initial calibration cetificate.

That answers my question (I think). Thanks!

If ur looking for test equiptment then search eBay using the term
"Megger" you will then find loads of insulation and earth loop
testers. I have a Screwfix 100 quid tester and its ****e when compared
to a decent Megger BM200 tester.
Always go for the Megger or Robin brandnames if possable,you can get a
new Megger 500v Insulation tester and continuity for around 200 its
model number BM121 i think.

I was happy enough to go for the TLC insulation/continuity tester at 100
quid.

However, for the earth loop impedance tester I did go to eBay. Got a
nice Robin for 85 quid.

I got current model digital Seaward earth loop and RCD testers for 80-90
quid each, with brand new calibration certificate. I got a "Newlec 121"
insulation/continuity for 30 quid. Working, but not certificated, it appears
to be a rebadged BM121.
